Question

Object a has a mass of 500g and a density of 5.00 g/cm3 object b has a mads of 650. g and a density of6.5 g/cm3 which object would displace the most liquid? Explain

Answer 1

We have to calculate the volume of these objects.

Density=mass/ volume ⇒volume=mass/ Density.

1)Object a
Data:
mass=500 g
density=5 g/cm³

Volume=500 g/ (5g/cm³)=100 cm³

2)volume of object b
Data:
mass=650 g
density=6.5 g/cm³

Volume=650 g /(6.5 g/cm³)=100 cm³

Therefore, the volume of these objects is the same.

Answer: both objects would displace the same amount of liquid, because the volume would be the same.
